I've done a dpkg-reconfigure several times, thirteen of the fourteen
modules was suggested by computer, so I stuck with them (omitting xtt -
teletype fonts for X?) Choosing the last module also didn't change
anything, a reboot gave me a frozen mouse once again, after a new
reconfiguring af the xserver and a new reboot the mouse was again.
I have a Nvidia Graphics Card, I've downloaded Nvidia own driver, not
yet installed, perhaps that will helt, the installation instructions
says something about de-choosing some of the modules.
